Our culture has become like the evil birds on Dark Crystal:

Ben is great. I would love to have been able to kick the teeth in of that Sodomite that threatened him on TV.
Blood, freely donated, for transfusions, I am okay with. Organs become a gray area when one considers that the body must be kept 'alive' in order to do so, and the criteria for 'brain dead' shifted with Terry Schiavo, although the way she was murdered likely rendered her organs unsuitable for donation.
Will the criteria for being a donor be changed for convenience and profit? Most assuredly, if we allow our society to head down that road. Sooner or later the old "lifeboat problem' (or 'kidney machine problem'-- same thing) will come to prominence as some lives become considered to be 'more important' than others, and those criteria will be established by little more than the whim of those in power.
If we have the ability to clone organs from the stem cells of the intended recipient or even a close living match, then this should be the course taken. Rejection should be far less of a problem if the recipient's cells were cultured to make the organ.
Humanity treads on dangerous ground, teetering again on the precipice above the fiery abyss.
** “Senomyx doesn’t mention that they used human embryonic kidney cells (HEK 293) from an aborted baby in product testing.” The name HEK 293 means it came from the 293rd experiment, after 292 other experiments. Vinnedge said that she discovered the situation after a pro-life consumer reported it to her. “I thought, it couldn’t be true,” she said, “so I researched it and found out it was true.” Vinnedge noted that Senomyx uses baby parts in research and development but not in the product themselves. **
Aren they one step away from putting it into products?
“Planned Parenthood is a chop shop”
An accurate way of putting it.

But the libs make darn sure they don’t use products tested on animals but I don’t think they care if they use products developed with baby parts and, for heaven’s sake, don’t kill a lion.
